New York Times bestselling author John Connolly writes an “unfailingly compelling” (New Orleans Times-Picayune) and lyrical tale that forces Private Investigator Charlie Parker to examine his haunting past and all that he has ever believed true about his beloved parents—and himself.

Charlie Parker is a lost soul. Deprived of his private investigator's license and under scrutiny by the police, Parker takes a job in a Portland bar. But he uses his enforced retirement to begin a different kind of investigation: an examination of his own past and an inquiry into the death of his father, who took his own life after apparently shooting dead two unarmed teenagers. It's a search that will eventually lead Parker to question all that he believed about his beloved parents, and about himself.

But there are other forces at work: a troubled young woman who is running from an unseen threat, one that has already taken the life of her boyfriend; and a journalist-turned-writer named Mickey Wallace, who is conducting an investigation of his own. And haunting the shadows, as they have done throughout Parker's life, are two figures: a man and a woman who seem driven to bring an end to Charlie Parker's existence.

Haunting, lyrical, and impossible to put down, The Lovers is John Connolly at his best.

The story, as in all of Connolly's books, is captivating, funny, spooky, gritty, dark, hopeful, and just plain good.

My issue was with the narrator, or more specifically the director, who failed to know that the name of one of the characters is pronounced in a different way than a native English speaker might expect. It's rough to see that whoever directed this didn't even bother to read the other novels in the series or do some research on it. What's worse, though, 8s that the narrator pronounced the name correctly in the book before this one in the series, after having pronounced it incorrectly in the one before that.

It just feels a bit shoddy to me.

Still, great book, and good performance.

It's Lou-ee, not Lou-iss
